surtgis

High-performance geospatial analysis library for Python, powered by Rust.

SurtGIS provides 40+ terrain, hydrology, and imagery algorithms with native performance through PyO3 bindings.

Installation

pip install surtgis

Quick Start

import numpy as np
import surtgis

# Create a sample DEM (100x100 grid)
dem = np.random.rand(100, 100) * 100  # Elevation in meters
cell_size = 30.0  # 30m resolution

# Compute terrain derivatives
slope = surtgis.slope(dem, cell_size)
aspect = surtgis.aspect_degrees(dem, cell_size)
hillshade = surtgis.hillshade_compute(dem, cell_size, azimuth=315.0, altitude=45.0)

# Curvature analysis
profile_curv = surtgis.curvature_compute(dem, cell_size, ctype="profile")
plan_curv = surtgis.curvature_compute(dem, cell_size, ctype="plan")

# Advanced Florinsky curvatures (14 types available)
mean_h = surtgis.advanced_curvature(dem, cell_size, ctype="mean_h")
gaussian_k = surtgis.advanced_curvature(dem, cell_size, ctype="gaussian_k")

# Hydrology
twi = surtgis.twi_compute(dem, cell_size)  # Topographic Wetness Index
hand = surtgis.hand_compute(dem, cell_size)  # Height Above Nearest Drainage

print(f"Slope range: {slope.min():.1f} - {slope.max():.1f}")
print(f"TWI range: {twi.min():.2f} - {twi.max():.2f}")
